Name: Pinus echinata / Liquidambar styraciflua - Quercus (stellata, margarettae) / Schizachyrium scoparium Forest Plantation
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This intensively managed <i>Pinus echinata</i> vegetation occurs in the Upper West Gulf Coastal Plain of Texas, and almost certainly occurs in other areas as well. These are typically mature stands maintained by infrequent to regular winter burning. Stands managed with less frequent fire (the majority of existing areas) have a dense 2-m tall layer of saplings and shrubs, while more frequently burned areas (presumably replicating more natural conditions) are more herbaceous-dominated. Understory conditions in any given stand may fluctuate temporally given changes to the fire management regime. Other silvicultural operations, especially thinning, have usually occurred, and in many cases hardwood density has been heavily diminished in both the overstory and subcanopy. <i>Pinus taeda</i> stems are usually selected against during thinning operations as well, especially within red-cockaded woodpecker (<i>Picoides borealis</i>) management areas.
